Those who opposed the Sedition Act of 1918 argued that it violated freedom of speech and infringed upon First Amendment rights. They believed that the act was overly broad and allowed the government to suppress dissenting opinions and punish individuals for criticizing the government or its policies during wartime. Critics also felt that the act was used as a tool to target political radicals and dissenters, stifling their ability to challenge the government's actions.

Why did nativists resent immigrants?

Like most countries, the United States alternated between welcoming newcomers and wishing they would stay away. Some American nativists, especially in the early to mid-1800s, wanted only those who were descendants of the original colonists to live in the US. They questioned whether immigrants with no ties to America would be loyal to this country, and they feared that immigrants would secretly remain loyal to the old country. Other nativists disliked people from the "wrong" religion-- Catholics and Jews, for example, and later they did not want people from the "wrong" race-- Asians, free blacks from the Caribbean, etc. Thus, the main reasons that nativists opposed immigration were fear of those who were different, and later, concern that immigrants might take away their jobs.

Why did some people blame the fire of London on a catholic plot?

There was a huge amount of bigotry at the time with the country changing from Protestism to Catholicism and back again according to the religion of an incoming monarch and people were put to death for following the 'wrong' religion. It was so bad that anything that went wrong was blamed on people of the 'wrong' religion or foreigners.

Why should you support same-sex marriage?

You should support same-sex marriage because it is the right thing to do. Its legalization in much of the Western World appears to be inevitable, even though progress sometimes seems slow. When same-sex couples have been guaranteed their basic civil rights, those who opposed these changes will be looked upon negatively, as are those who opposed the abolition of slavery, or those who favored racial segregation, or opposed interracial marriage, opposed women's suffrage, or were on the wrong side of any number of social issues that society has wrestled with.Maliciously obstructing the civil rights of others is not something that posterity will look kindly on.
